Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

The small subunit of the ribosome contains the mRNA binding channel, where the mRNA is threaded and positioned for decoding. The rRNA of the small subunit, particularly the 16S rRNA in prokaryotes and ...

Insights into protein synthesis processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes are crucial for advancements in genetics, ...

Ribosomes are complexes of rRNA molecules and proteins, and they can be observed in electron micrographs of cells. Sometimes, ribosomes are visible as clusters, called polyribosomes. In eukaryotes ...

This important study by Bi and colleagues employed a clever genetics screen to uncover the role of the GidB rRNA methylase in translation fidelity, under certain conditions, in Mycobacterium smegmatis ...
